Chapters 11-15

[L.E. Smoot]

Sarah Byrnes talks about wanting to hide her scars on the inside, like everyone else. Do you think this way is better? Can you imagine how she must feel, having her secrets out in the open?
Sarah Byrnes used meanness like a shield. Have you ever done that? Do you know anyone that has? Did it help at all?
Was Eric doing the right thing by taking Sarah Byrnes’ letter to Coach Lemry?
Do you think Mautz had any right to talk to Eric like he did about Mark?
Do you think Sarah Byrnes took a risk in coming back to school when she knew her father was looking for her?
What did you think of Mark Brittain’s “retaliation” after Jody told the whole class about her abortion? Did you ever expect that he would take things that far?
Do you feel that Mr. Brittain was fair in only calling Steve Ellerby and Eric into Mautz’s office?
